Image maps in Forrest
AFAIK imagemaps are not supported in our Document DTD, but are an
important feature in some websites.
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/objects.html#adef-usemap
To minimize the impact on existing DocumentDTD, I would propose that we
simply allow the "@usemap" attribute on "img" elements. Imagemaps can
thus be specified in outside files and linked there.
Do others think that it's better to allow imagemaps in docs altogether
from now?
Other ideas-opinions?

Ahhh, good suggestion, somehow I didn't think of this 8-|
Ok, so it seems that we would need to support imagemaps in the DTD.
What about adopting this or something like it?

Do other formats (such as PDF) support anything like imagemaps?
